Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Rand was initially puzzled as to why young spirits wanted to speak through her--she had no children of her own and the responsibility of talking with people who had lost theirs seemed too great to bear. But the compelling answers came with time and patience: No one finds death more inexplicable than a grieving parent, thus no spirits are more motivated to make sense of it all for those they've left behind than young ones. These spirits clearly want to heal broken hearts and deepen our understanding of life and death, and Rand has the unique ability to help deliver their messages.

Through her, young spirits talk freely about how to make sense of murder, suicide, and accidental deaths. They also discuss the different ways relationships on both sides can be mended, how the intergenerational cycle of abuse and addiction can be stopped, and how joy guides--miscarried and aborted children--can actually help those they've left behind move forward.

The insights they share in this uniquely comforting book will surprise, inform, and inspire. What's more, their answers to our questions about death reveal many valuable tips for living a better life while on earth too.

Synopsis:

"Psychic medium Hollister Rand specializes in talking to kids who have died. No one finds death more inexplicable than a parent who has lost their child, thus no group of spirits are more motivated to make sense of it all for those they've left behind than the young ones. The need to assure family and friends that they really are okay has made these kids determined and effective communicators. Through her, young spirits are now able to talk freely about how to make sense of murder, suicide and accidentaldeaths (even those that occurred at the hands of loved ones). They also discuss the different ways relationships on both sides can be mended, and how the inter-generational cycle of abuse and addiction can be stopped once and for all. They introduce us to the concept of 'joy guides'--miscarried and aborted children who actually help those they've left behind move forward. The comments they share in this uniquely comforting and enlightening book will surprise, inform, and inspire. Not only do they answer our many questions about death, they also succeed in revealing incredibly valuable tips for living a better life while on earth too"--
